Function Block Libraries

Basic Function Block Library

Every

drive.web

device has a Basic Function Block Library that includes a useful range of functions that can be instantiated as often as necessary and connected by drag & drop to perform basic control schemes. All function block graphics are dynamic, so all objects such as switches, contacts, indicators and parameters show their real-time state or value.

Basic Arithmetic & Clamps:

Adders, Dividers, Multipliers, Sign Changers, Subtractors, Clamps.

Here are examples of some of the Arithmetic function blocks:

PI Controller:

The basic PI controller is suitable for most closed loop control applications.

This function block includes all of the features you will need for demanding industrial applications, such as:

Integral preset

Independent upper and lower output clamps

Together with monitoring points for all the key variables including error, clamp state, and PI terms

Here is an example of the PI Controller Function Block:

Logic & Switch Functions:

AND, NOT, OR, 2-In Switch, 2-Out Switch

Easy to use logic functions enable you to build basic interlocks and control schemes. Here are examples of some of the logic function blocks:

savvyPanel Functions:

These control the behavior of

savvyPanel

touchscreen devices such as pushbuttons, setters, meters and indicator lamps.
